Store Collection Thames & Hudson
€15,00

The mid-20th century was one of the most popular, collectable and dynamic periods of international design. Drawing on the inventive style of the era, this chic little book features scores of exclusive illustrations of classic mid-century designs, from Eames chairs to Poul Henningsen lamps and George Nelson clocks, all rendered in a distinctive graphic style.

Featuring over ninety pieces by sixty designers and design duos, Mid-Century Modern: Icons of Design is arranged chronologically, and includes chairs, tables, storage, lighting, and product and industrial design. Each spread includes a graphic depiction of the piece, while fact-filled and informative texts explain the designers’ influences and the products’ place in design history. The models, materials and designers index offers easy reference through the book.

Brimming with the most recognizable and well-loved pieces from a period of design that is always in style, this book is the ideal gift for all design and interior enthusiasts.

Thames & Hudson was founded in 1949 by Walter and Eva Neurath. Their passion and mission was to create a ‘museum without walls’ and to make accessible to a large reading public the world of art and the research of top scholars. To reflect its international outlook the name for the company linked the rivers flowing through London and New York, represented in its logo by two dolphins symbolizing friendship and intelligence, one facing east, one west, suggesting a transatlantic connection.

Today, still an independent, family-owned company, Thames & Hudson is one of the world’s leading publishers of illustrated books with over 2,000 titles in print. We publish high-quality books across ‎all areas of visual creativity: the arts (fine, applied, decorative, performing), architecture, design, photography, fashion, film and music, and also archaeology, history and popular culture. Our children’s books list is also expanding. Headquartered in London, we have a sister company in New York (Thames & Hudson Inc.). Since 1970, Thames & Hudson Australia has operated from Melbourne as both an originating publisher and sales and distribution provider. We also have subsidiary sales and distribution companies in Hong Kong (Thames & Hudson Asia) and Paris (Interart).
